Our dedicated team of cybersecurity experts possesses extensive experience and a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced within the UK technology landscape. From software development firms and IT service providers to hardware manufacturers and tech startups, we are adept at addressing the intricate security needs of technology professionals.
As the technology sector continues to evolve amidst rapid technological advancements and increasing digitalisation, the importance of robust cybersecurity measures cannot be overstated. Our penetration testing service is meticulously crafted to comprehensively assess the security posture of your technology systems and applications.
We understand the critical importance of protecting intellectual property, ensuring compliance with data protection regulations, and maintaining the trust of clients and stakeholders. Utilising industry standard methodologies and tools, we identify vulnerabilities, prioritise risks, and deliver actionable recommendations.
Whether you’re a software company, IT service provider, hardware manufacturer, or tech startup operating within the UK technology industry sector, our penetration testing service offers peace of mind by proactively identifying potential cyber security threats.
Penetration Testing Services for Technology:
A network infrastructure penetration test is performed externally or internally to identify vulnerabilities and security issues at the infrastructure level. After discovery, vulnerabilities are safely exploited, confirming if the vulnerability exists. The process is manual, removing false positives typically returned by automated tools and vulnerability assessments.
Web application penetration testing simulates a real-world attack, identifying security issues within your organisation’s web applications or web services such as REST API’s. Identified vulnerabilities are documented in a severity ordered report with clear recommendation instructions, allowing your organisation to fix and secure identified security issues.
Mobile app penetration testing is a consultant lead manual deep dive assessment conducted against a mobile application. Assessment is typically dynamic (conducted while the application is running) however, the client has the option to make the source code available for the assessment. Providing source code optimises testing time by allowing for faster discovery and validation of security vulnerabilities, and removes the need to reverse engineer binaries.
Internal network penetration testing is performed onsite or by deploying an appliance which allowing our team to connect remotely. Deploying an appliance onsite gives penetration testers the flexibility to perform work out of hours, reducing costs and risk of business disruption.
Identify cybersecurity issues and risks, offering your organisation a practical overview of the current state of your IT security. Assist in evaluating your organisation’s present status concerning various compliance standards such as PCI DSS and ISO 27001. Take a step beyond a vulnerability assessment and have a certified consultant verify the presence of the identified security issues.

Assessments should be performed on a regular basis to ensure newly discovered threats and vulnerabilities are discovered and resolved before any potential attacker detects and exploits them in a real world scenario. In addition to regular security assessments demanded by regulatory and compliance standards, network security audits should also be completed when:
Below is an overview of Aptive’s testing process.
Discovery takes place before any engagement is conducted, the process involves collecting as much information about the organisation or application as possible.
In scope addresses are manually enumerated for useful information such as services and versions.
As much information as possible is gathered / enumerated from each exposed service.
After enumeration of the server(s) / network a Vulnerability assessment is completed, helping identify known public vulnerabilities. This process helps identify information that can be manually assessed in the next step.
Depending on client requirements, discovered forms or password hashes are tested using the latest password recovery techniques, helping identify if current password policies are sufficient.
Services revealed at the enumeration and vulnerability assessment stage are researched for public exploits and or known exploit methods.
Discovered services are manually and safely tested or exploited to confirm if they are vulnerable.
Successfully compromised machines are locally enumerated for valuable data, if possible (scope permitting) user privileges are escalated to admin root. Screenshots of account privilege level or discovered data are taken for evidence.
Lateral movement uses compromised machines are used to route traffic, allowing the pen testing consultant to access the internal network or other machines / network subnet. This demonstrates the risk of a potential breach and how far an attacker may get within the target companies network.
All discovered security findings are documented in severity ordered report with clear concise remediation instructions and their associated risk and impact.
All our manual assessment services come with free retesting on reported findings.
All our penetration testing services are performed manually using methodologies based on industry-approved frameworks such as OWASP. If you would like to sample the quality of our work you can request an example report.
| Type | Starting Price | Description |
